Ingredients
  

Group: Noodles
  • 8 oz. thin rice noodles Or your favorite noodle
Group: Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter All-natural preferred
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce Low-sodium recommended
  • 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. honey Or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 clove garlic, minced Fresh is best!
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
Group: Garnish
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro Optional
  • 1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds For crunch
  • crushed peanuts For garnish

Equipment

  • Pot For boiling noodles
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Large bowl For tossing ingredients

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the thin rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the sauce until well coated. Add sliced green onions and toss again.
  4. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and cilantro if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It's best to keep the sauce separate to prevent the noodles from getting soggy.
